I would like to take a second to welcome Mitch (Gehrig) to our team of moderators, and to thank him for his willingness to help out. He has been a great contributor, and has shown amazing interest and enthusiasm for the extensive history of this team. Having a Yankees History Forum without Mitch as a moderator of it is like having a Hall Of Fame with no Pete Rose ;).

Thanks again Mitch!

Great. And thanks for your efforts. I think I suggested a History forum months ago; glad to see it here. So long as Pete Rose isn't allowed in I'm happy!

Speaking of history, Lou Boudreau died today. Strange, but I'm always surprised when a former baseball giant dies before the age of 100. They just seemed less mortal than the rest of us.

I can't tell you how psyched I am to see this forum and it's obvious choice of moderator.
